Red-waisted Florella Moth
Syngamia florella

Observation date: January 05, 2025
Submitted by: NicholeP
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Clear morning, approximately mid-high 60s to low 70s Fahrenheit. I took a picture of whatever part of the organism I could get, as it was both small, fast, and extremely flighty. I could not get another picture after it flew away because it became too out of reach (both for me and for my camera). Size was approximately 1-2 inches from wingtip to wingtip. Shown in the picture is what I believe to be the underside of the organism.
